Guardinals were animalistic celestials native to Elysium and the House of Nature. When at home, they were among the most peaceful beings in all the planes, but outside their home plane, they hunted down evil to stop it.
Like other celestials, the appearances of guardinals varied; both among varieties and individuals but most looked like attractive and fit humanoids with distinct animal traits. Some guardinals appeared more animal-like, while others appeared more human-like.
Guardinals were quick to laugh and slow to get angry. They were the epitome of moral integrity and honor. They did not lie or cheat. Guardinals had zero tolerance for evil or injustice of any kind and would travel out of their way to confront it. If evil came to their home plane, they became as ferocious as any archon.
Guardinals were naturally fluent in the Celestial language and the language of devils. Most also spoke Draconic. However, they could communicate with almost any sentient creature using their innate magic, so in some sense, they could speak all languages. Moreover, they could telepathically communicate with any animals.
